A tough trail with some very steep sections, watch out for bullets flying overhead. Do not ride in the rain as this trail is very wet weather sensitive and easily damaged. Gets spicy in the dry too

This trail is unsanctioned.

Please do not ride when wet.

 Medium tree lying across the trail can’t get up and over it, but will need a chainsaw to clear and probably a couple pairs of hands

      Walked it today. Wet but not too slippery. Steep section where the gun club has posted 3 warning signs looked pretty iffy from the top (wasn't interested in skiing down today)
      JakeBoulder
      Not for intermediate riders, had to walk it. Very steep sections with drops and one wrong move and you'll be rolling down the mountain. Also the trail isn't in the line of sight of the range if anyone was wondering.
      WheelNut
      Great trail. Super fun. Very tough steep chutes when dry and full of pebbles. A must ride when on Burke. Tough to integrate into your ride if you haven't setup a shuttle to get back or to leave from. This trail dumps you out quite far away from everything else.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
